Got up to the loo around 2am sunday and had pains in my tummy. Tried to go back to sleep but got gradually worse. Decided to go into hospital and arrived about 6am- 4cm dilated. Had to wait almost 1.5 hours for epidural to arrive but definately worth it. Kimiko Ejeme Isobel was born at 12.17pm sunday, weighing 8lb 5oz. the grin on oh's face still hasn't gone
